Refrigerated Yorkie eats holiday ham

Pets need health insurance, not only for the most common ailments, but also for some of the most extraordinary. To demonstrate that fact, Veterinary Pet Insurance combed through its claims to find the top ten list of most unusual claims in the year 2000. Fortunately for these pets, their owners had purchased Veterinary Pet Insurance policies.

"While some of these cases may seem humorous in retrospect, we have to remember that, at the time, they were real emergencies for the pets and their owners," says Jack Stephens, DVM, founder and Chief Executive Officer of VPI."The lesson to be learned is that pets can get themselves into an amazing variety of dangerous predicaments.

With guests on the way and meal preparation in high gear, no one noticed Rex, the wily Yorkshire Terrier climb into the refrigerator (perhaps disguised as Yorkshire pudding). By the time he was discovered, the well-chilled pooch had managed to nosh half the family's holiday ham. For more information, see pet training aids.
